Another reunion was in store when we visited friends in Charleston. Two of Frank’s married college classmates make their home on the Isle of Palms. We had not seen Kevin and Kathy since our last visit to Charleston in 2006. We met several times during our four days there for wonderful meals at their recommended restaurants. So many choices and not one of them bad!! Kathy is also an excellent cook and shared a few recipes with me that will come in handy during the holidays.
HAPPY GRANDPARENTS! THEY LEARNED WHILE WE WERE THERE THAT THEIR SON WAS TAKING A NEW JOB IN ATLANTA. NOW THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER WOULD BE ONLY FIVE HOURS AWAY!
Another fun thing we did…maybe more fun for me than Frank…was to walk the Ravenell Bridge that links Charleston to Sullivan Island and Isle of Palms. From end to end including ramps, you can walk or ride a bike almost five miles. It is a beautiful and scenic way to get your exercise while viewing the harbor, river, and looking out to the ocean. I got the entire walk in while Frank quit when he reached the top. However, I was proud of him for walking two miles! THE WALK...SUPER BRIDGE!
GOING UP!

CITY MARINA...WHERE ALL THE YACHTS DOCK!
A DRIVE OUT TO FOLLY BEACH
While here, we parked Pearl at James Island County Park. This was a great county park with miles of walking and biking trails. During the holidays the entire park is decorated with Christmas lights. They had already started putting up the lights and according to our friends, John and Rosi, who have stayed there in November, the lights are spectacular! Wish we could have seen it all lit up!CAMPGROUND OWL ALL LIT UP AT NIGHT
Don’t worry, Jean, I picked up your glazed pecans while in Charleston. Glad our little mouse we picked up here or in Tennessee, didn’t find them!!
